After listening to Kiyoshi Sakamoto's story of adding his own materials, Kenji Kitagawa, who regarded Kiyoshi Sakamoto as his own, was also very angry. Although he is also a rich kid, he hates Sony's brainless directors who don't contribute and only BB on the board of directors and get dividends.

When he worked in Sony's subsidiaries before, he knew the faces of these people.

So Kiyoshi Sakamoto proposed that he want him to help say something nice in front of his father. At the same time, he told Naoki Kitagawa a suggestion put forward by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and at that time, Kenji Kitagawa patted his chest and assured that this matter would be wrapped up in him.

In this way, the plan to save the country can be implemented.

The reason why those directors oppose the band's debut now is because this is a newly signed group, although there is a newcomer like Kiyoshi Sakamoto who has debuted and is very popular, but this does not mean that the band has reached the standard of debut, even if it debuts, it may not be successful.

If you don't meet the criteria for debut, there is no point in debuting now. THAT'S WHY THEY POSTPONED THE DEBUT OF THE SUN BAND.

This is a problem, but Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is very confident in his song and Shin Ogawa, is speechless for this nonsensical reason.

How can any company know if the newcomer who has just been launched will be popular...

If it can be speculated that it is successful, then there are no hundreds of newcomers who debut in a year, and after half a year, less than ten survived, and less than one or two were popular, and this situation appeared.

Yes, the current SUN band has just signed a contract, but it doesn't mean that they don't have the strength to debut right away, after all, in this band, there is still the existence of the bug of Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

But there is no way, even if you say it, now because of the proposal of several directors, the band's debut plan has been temporarily put on hold. Kiyoshi Sakamoto can only come up with another way to prove that THE SUN has the strength to debut.

And this method, Sakamoto Kiyoshi has already let Kitagawa Kenji bring it to the Kitagawa boss who supports him.

Ginza, Sony Building, President's Office.

"Fun!"

Naoki Kitagawa originally had a cold-eyed attitude in this matter, and he also wanted to see from this stress test that Kiyoshi Sakamoto's ability to resist pressure and whether he had the potential to be a representative artist of Sony in the future.

So he also acquiesced to the postponement of his debut this time, wanting to see what Kiyoshi Sakamoto would do next, but what he didn't expect was that Kiyoshi Sakamoto's counterattack came so quickly.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto asked Kenji Kitagawa to bring him a gambling contract in private.

The content of the bet agreement is: Sakamoto Kiyoshi's SUN band will perform on the streets of Tokyo in the next week, as long as the number of spectators reaches more than 5,000 people in a single performance, it is Sakamoto Kiyoshi who wins. If there is no one that reaches more than 5,000 people, it is a loss.

If you win, THE SUN will make her debut immediately, and Sony will give you the greatest support and publicity.

If he loses, THE SUN will postpone his debut, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto will unconditionally help any singer under the company to create two songs.

This is Kiyoshi Sakamoto's curve national salvation plan, referred to as "gambling debut"!

When Naoki Kitagawa saw this "gambling debut" plan proposed by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, he was really surprised, surprised by Kiyoshi Sakamoto's shrewdness.

In this kind of bet, the impact on THE SUN is the greatest. Because his debut will be postponed if he loses, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has to come up with two original songs. But there is no benefit to winning, because if THE SUN debuted, as a newcomer under Sony, he would definitely support it, so it doesn't make much sense to win at all.

But that's where Kiyoshi Sakamoto's shrewdness comes in.

If you win, you will have a few directors who propose to postpone their debut. That's not realistic at all, because no matter what people say, it's still your boss in name, even if it's just a director who doesn't have the right to speak.

What about the boss who proposed to take the funds in the gambling contract, it will only make the people within the upper echelons of Sony think that Sakamoto Kiyoshi and the others are people who will get carried away once they have their will, which will only reduce the impression of Sakamoto Kiyoshi in their hearts.

In this way, the gains outweigh the losses, and Kiyoshi Sakamoto will not be so stupid, so he will propose such a bet, and the result will not be conducive to his own bet.

"Smart little ghost, but with such a talent under his hands, it's also very worry-free. Naoki Kitagawa believes that it is time to take a stand.

The next day, at the daily board meeting, Naoki Kitagawa made the bet and vaguely supported it verbally at the meeting. But the directors of the Beichuan faction of the goblins and goblins all spoke out in support, forcing the directors who wanted to give Sakamoto Kiyoshi a dismissal and agreed to the bet.

After all, Naoki Kitagawa, who is the president, has spoken, so what if he doesn't agree.

"Little fox, let me see if your ability to create miracles is the same as your ability to compose songs, so powerful!"

When he received the news that the bet had been approved, Sakamoto Kiyoshi breathed a sigh of relief, and then Sakamoto Kiyoshi knew that he had won.

After all, he's Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who is very popular right now. The 5,000-member LIVE is a basically impossible task for any band that has not yet debuted. But for THE SUN, which has Kiyoshi Sakamoto, it's not too easy.

This is a trick of Sakamoto Kiyoshi, he is gambling, betting on a few directors who want to engage in his own affairs, and he has no idea his current influence, and the amazing band performance when he was at Sunrise High School!

Because at that time, in order to avoid the leakage of audio sources, Sony collected all the clearer video recordings on the Internet, or deleted them all. The directors who just held the shares and ate the dividends didn't know that they had already shown the LIVE strength of the SUN band, and that kind of strength, coupled with the popularity of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, would not lose at all.

It's ridiculous that they still think that Kiyoshi Sakamoto is a little newcomer who debuted less than a year ago, how influential he can be, even if his songs sell well, but many people still don't know him, LIVE of 5,000 people, it's impossible, this is their idea.

Naoki Kitagawa, who was on the board, also did not remind them, because Kiyoshi Sakamoto was the person he valued, and those idle directors were not the opposition who supported him.

In this way, at the suggestion of Sakamoto Kiyoshi, a gamble that only Sakamoto Kiyoshi thought he had won, began.

In RB, if you want to perform on the streets, you must apply to the police station and get permission before you can perform at a designated location.

However, Kiyoshi Sakamoto has talked to Makoto Ogawa and Masaki Chiba, and it is impossible to perform in a crowded location, after all, it will hinder traffic. Therefore, after discussion, it was decided to set two locations for street performances.

Inokashira Park in Tokyo, and the area around Kashiwa Station in Chiba.

These two places were chosen not only because they are more tolerant places for roadshows, as long as you apply online in advance, you can perform there in a dignified manner, but also because both places have a lot of space, especially Inonoshira Park, which has an open-air stage dedicated to roadshows and can accommodate up to 8,000 people.

For THE SUN, Inokashira Park may be the place where victory or defeat will be decided.

When it comes to street performances, the famous duo, the Yuzu group and Ai Kawashima, and Hana Uemura, who became famous for the song "Toilet Goddess", are all artists from street performances. In particular, the Yuzu group once held a live performance that was watched by more than 7,000 people, but it was a sensation.

Thinking of this, Kiyoshi Sakamoto set a goal for his street performance this time that only he knows, that is, to surpass the 7,000 people in a single performance of the Yuzu group!!

After several days of high-intensity joint training, the three of them decided to start performing on the street on the 17th.

Saturday, July 17th, 10 a.m.

THE SUN chose this day to hold their first live street performance in Inokashira Park in Tokyo.

Many office workers and students choose to go to amusement parks and parks on weekends. Tokyo Inoginashi Park is one of Tokyo's most popular cherry blossom viewing spots and an ideal place to relax and unwind all year round, with one of the largest crowds in any park in Tokyo.

At this time, the family who was picnicking in the park, and the couple who were taking pictures by the lake, saw a park truck, with some audio and musical instrument equipment, driving to the side of the open-air stage and stopping.

The crowd in the garden, who were wondering, saw three young men getting out of the car. I started to move the audio equipment and musical instruments from the car.

RB people are very indifferent to things that are not related to them, and these visitors just look at it a few times and then look away, and no one wants to help.

It was just the simplest musical instruments and sound equipment, not much of it, and the three young and strong young men quickly moved everything and put it on the stage.

That's right, these three are, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Shin Ogawa, Masaki Chiba, and all the members of the band THE SUN.

After connecting all the equipment, Sakamoto Kiyoshi put a microphone in front of him, then picked up the guitar with shoulder straps, looked at Ogawa and Chiba who were already prepared on the side, and said, "Ahem, HELLO, Mai test." ”

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who opened his mouth, attracted people's attention as soon as he opened his mouth.

When Kiyoshi Sakamoto saw that someone noticed, he immediately continued, "Mina-san, Koyou Jiwa (hello everyone), we are the TNE SUN band, please advise." ”

At this time, Sakamoto Kiyoshi had already taken off his cap, and his handsome face was revealed.

A couple who were taking pictures, the woman seemed to recognize Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and suddenly screamed.

"Ah!!h

The crowd at the scene and Kiyoshi Sakamoto were all confused, and even the woman's boyfriend was blindfolded, who knew that next, the woman ran directly to the front of the stage and shouted.

"KIYO-kun!! is KIYO-kun!!"

Looking at the eyes that had been attracted by the girl's voice, as well as the fan girl in front of him, Sakamoto Kiyoshi knew that his popularity was still okay, and someone recognized him so quickly.

So Kiyoshi Sakamoto approached the microphone and said, "Hello everyone, I'm the lead singer of the band SUN, Kiyoshi Sakamoto. ”

As soon as Kiyoshi Sakamoto's name came out, everyone who heard this sentence at the scene turned their eyes to the three people on the stage.

Then, those who knew Sakamoto Kiyoshi, those who knew about Sakamoto Kiyoshi, and those who were curious about Sakamoto Kiyoshi slowly gathered in front of the stage, and those who ran fast and shouted "Where's KIYO-kun?" while running, were all fans of Kiyoshi Sakamoto...

Soon, nearly 200 people gathered under the stage, and at this time, Sakamoto Kiyoshi began to signal the other two people in the band that the performance could begin.
